5ec9d741 5INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x

6================================

VZ

9 Notice that these changes are described in more details in
10 the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
11 please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.

14Unicode-related changes
15-----------------------
16
17The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
18old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
19in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
20changes:
21
22- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
3dac8f8a
VS
23 either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
24 the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
e0e7a341
VS
25 strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
26 backwards compatible except:
4baf7800
VZ
27
28 a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
29 "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
30 base class version.
31
32 b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
33 wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
0d5ab92f
VZ
34 should be replaced with an empty string.
35
b7aadf25
VZ
36- Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
37 return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
38 *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
39 the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
40 you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
41 explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
c398434d
VZ
42 A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
43 with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
44 indicate the parsing success.
0d5ab92f
VZ
45
46- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
47 wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
48 type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
49 to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII).
e6d4038a 50
50c549b9
VZ
51- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
52 but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
53 to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
54 also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
55 bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
f01a77c7
VZ
56 Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
57 their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.

60wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
61------------------------------------
1e6b2edf
VZ
62
63wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
64supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
65source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
66
6f67af05
FM
67Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
68were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
69The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
70wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
71open for futher development by volunteers.
72
73The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
74"official" library stc and in the core lib.

77Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
78---------------------------------------------------------------------------
79
466e87bd
VZ
80- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
81 need to update your code if you access these files directly.
82
47a8a4d5
VZ
83- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
84 necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
85 with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
86
5644933f
VZ
87- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
88 other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
89 instead.
90
89064717
VZ
91- Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
92 according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
93 new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
94 on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
95 sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
96 proportions to return to the old behaviour.
97
5414d62e
VZ
98- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
99 ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
100 the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
101 request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
102 positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
103 deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
104 to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
105 the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
106
17808a75 107- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
47d9ca16 108 your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
17808a75 109
628e155d
VZ
110- wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
111 than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
112 can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
113 you need the extra features.
114
9c8116f8
VZ
115- wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
116 reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
117 your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
118 derived classes to use const reference as well.
119
a6eac99d
VZ
120- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
121 Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
17808a75 122
c6e4d276
VZ
123- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
124
1d7b600d
VZ
125- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
126 GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
127 more details.
128
0e1e143d
FM
129- Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
130 Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
131 or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
132 See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
133
f2a18fbe
VZ
134- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
135
9c61c5b0
VZ
136- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
137 changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
138 manual for more details.
139
febebac1 140- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
bc73d5ae 141 Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
febebac1
VZ
142 single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
143
bc73d5ae
VZ
144- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
145 instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
146 class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
147 documentation of wxLog for more information.
148
7e6edd27
VZ
149- Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
150 easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
151 will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
152 overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
4a00e77c
VZ
153 new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
154 applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
7e6edd27 155
1a2df6a7
VZ
156- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
157 and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
158 most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
159 space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
57cc93eb 160
b37e592b 161- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
1a2df6a7 162
57cc93eb
VS
163- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
164 to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
165 indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
166 accordingly, to 2.
167
3acf8a8d
VS
168- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
169 regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
170 legacy ANSI builds.
171
426ebc99
VZ
172- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
173 wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
174 The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
175 from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
176 querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
177

VZ
179Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
180-----------------------------------------------------------
181
c1dc9f83
VZ
182- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
183 you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
184
ddc0ac4a
VZ
185- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
186 need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
187 uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
188
8cc208e3 189- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
bca627de
FM
190 has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
191 GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
192 New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
3b7fa206 193
c9f78968
VS
194- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
195 longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
196 in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
197 code that depends on the result being wxChar.
198
ef0f1387
VS
199- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
200 or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
201 char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
202 (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
203 available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
204
c9f78968
VS
205- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
206 used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
207 this won't compile:
208 switch (str[i]) { ... }
209 and has to be replaced with this:
210 switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
211
73ba5ab9
VZ
212- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
213 const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
214 and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
215 apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
a6eac99d 216
73ba5ab9
VZ
217 + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
218 take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
219 between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
220 matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
221 explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
222
223 Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
224 Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
225 of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
226 some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
227
228 + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
229 convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
230 error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
231 wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
c9f78968 232
52de37c7 233- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
5bce3e6f 234 build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
52de37c7 235
c9f78968
VS
236- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
237 wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
238 conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
239 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
240 This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
241 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
242
d03dab2a 243- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
5bce3e6f 244
73ba5ab9 245- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
d38f70b2 246 are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
ab29bb87 247 must be used instead.
d38f70b2 248
de34bb08
VZ
249- wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
250 with void pointers.
251
d03dab2a
VS
252- Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
253
6a4cbac1
VS
254- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
255 wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
17808a75 256
c8058a09
JS
257- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
258 derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
259 can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
6a4cbac1 260
1a8a13ee 261- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
08f1c27c 262 implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
1a8a13ee 263 necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
08f1c27c
VZ
264 next/previous control sibling instead.
265
500b128d
VZ
266- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
267 wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
268 The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
d03dab2a 269
e98e625c
VZ
270- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
271 have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
272 wxBitmapType in your code.
273
763163a8
VZ
274- wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
275 functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
276 of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
277 written now.
278
279- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
280 be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
281
6e2f3084 282- wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
b18e2046 283 its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
6e2f3084
VZ
284 to it under 64 bit platforms too).
285
8cc208e3
VZ
286- Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
287 You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
288 locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
289
2352862a
VZ
290- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
291 references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
292 now results in compile-time error.
293
34a083c9
VZ
294- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
295 an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
296 longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
297 without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
298 add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
299
0f08aa44
VZ
300- wxList::Member() now returns book and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
301 require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
302 presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
303 use Find() instead.
304
65154866
VZ
305- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
306 change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
307 just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
308 concatenate with it.

VZ
311Deprecated methods and their replacements
312-----------------------------------------
313
13dd765c 314- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
7890307b
VS
315- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
316 or wxStringBufferLength instead.
d0bc78e2
VZ
317- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
318 specified so this style should simply be removed
724b119a
VZ
319- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
320 wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
321 to use
288b6107
VS
322- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
323 terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
324 "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
022a8a5a
VZ
325- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
326 use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
8cc208e3
VZ
327- Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
328 named new versions:
329 . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
330 . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
331 . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
332 . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
333- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
334 ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
335 plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
336 and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
e557577d
VZ
337- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
338 don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
628e155d
VZ
339- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
340- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
341 use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
342- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
fdaad94e
VZ
343 There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
344 not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
345- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
346 different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
347 passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
348 it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
349 code.
053ac76f 350- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
8cc208e3
VZ
351- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
352 name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
bca627de
FM
353- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
354 wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
355 were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
8cc208e3
VZ
356- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
357 documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
e5cfb314
VZ
358- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
359 the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
39cdc95f
FM
360- building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
361 wxStaticBox is still allowed but it's deprecated as it gives some problems
362 on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
363 You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
364 the static box itself.
c1ea6afb
VZ
365- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
366 consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
8462a84b
VZ
367- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
368 ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
369 wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
c27181d1
VZ
370- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
371 disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
372 with more expected semantics.
af7e24c3
VZ
373- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
374 wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
c1ea6afb 375
41ae85f8 376
5ec9d741
VZ
377Major new features in this release
378----------------------------------
379
9135f74e
VZ
380- wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
381 simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
382 past.
383
384- wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
385 depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
386
058f225a
VZ
387- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
388
b37e592b
JS
389- new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
390
058f225a 391- Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.

2860INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
2861================================

VZ
2863 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
2864 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
2865 with '!' in the first column.
2866
b6421719
VZ
2867 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
2868 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
2869 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
2870 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
2871 2.6 release.
2872
f33f16ec 2873 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
fc2171bd 2874 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
f33f16ec
VZ
2875 (see the documentation) useful.
2876
b6421719 2877
461f203c
VZ
2878wxBase:
2879
0b74b736 2880! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
461f203c
VZ
2881 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
2882 code.
2883
0b74b736 2884! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
0eeeb25f
VZ
2885 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
2886 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
2887 arrays containing non-pointers.
2888
19924e90
VZ
2889- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
2890 simply don't make sense for all objects
2891
2892- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
2893 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
2894 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
2895
677eff07
VZ
2896- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
2897
a2d541ca
VZ
2898- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
2899 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
2900 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
2901 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
2902 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
6a9c3625 2903
aad65f13
VZ
2904- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
2905 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
2906 the default assert handling.
2907
d73e6791
VZ
2908All (GUI):
2909
0b74b736 2910! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
eead3ccb
VZ
2911 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
2912 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
2913
2914 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
2edb0bde 2915 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
eead3ccb
VZ
2916 instead!
2917
0b74b736 2918! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
01a63363 2919 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
2edb0bde 2920 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
01a63363 2921
0b74b736
VZ
2922! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
2923 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
2924 you want to get OnChar() as well
2925
cdb10551
VZ
2926- in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
2927 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
2928 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details

2930- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
2931 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
2932 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
2933 will *NOT* work any longer:
2934
2935 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
2936 ... do something ...
2937 if ( flags & wxYES )
2938 ... do something else ...

2940- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
2941 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
2942 the ctor
2943
a8141d3f
VZ
2944- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
2945
2946- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
2947 if you derived any classes from it
2948

2955- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,

VZ
2958- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
2959 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
2960 from happening
2961
b6421719
VZ
2962- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
2963 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
2964 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
2965

2966- wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
2967 to obtain the previous behaviour, add
2968 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
2969 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)

2971wxMSW:
2972
0b74b736 2973! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
a12df582 2974 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
461f203c 2975 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
b239ffb9
VS
2976 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
2977 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
a69be60b
VZ
2978 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
2979 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
a12df582 2980 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
a69be60b
VZ
2981 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
2982 is only present for the DLLs builds.
461f203c 2983
bbed9595 2984- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
9dfef5ac 2985 style to avoid it
bbed9595 2986
5230934a
VZ

2988 previously selected one instead of replacing it
2989
05a6a882

2990- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
2991 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
2992 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
0b74b736 2993

2998Unix ports:
2999
0b74b736 3000! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
f6656ccb
VZ
3001 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
3002 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
3003 to compile pure C files.

VZ
3006wxThread and related classes:
3007
3008- The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
3009 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
3010 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
3011 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
3012
3013! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
3014 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
3015 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
dbd94b75 3016 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
0b74b736
VZ
3017
3018- wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
3019 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
3020 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
3021
3022- wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
3023 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.

3779
3780- Rearranged documentation a bit.
3781- Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
3782 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
3783 or below).
3784- Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
3785- Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
3786 sample.
3787- Added bombs and fractal samples.

3802wxMSW:
3803
3804- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
3805- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
3806 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
3807 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
3808 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
3809 on a tab.
3810- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
3811- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
3812 of Stefan Csomor.
3813
3814wxMotif:
3815
3816- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
3817 without (permanently) resizing the window.
3818- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
3819 that disabled scrollbar paging.
3820- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
3821 colours correctly.
3822- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
3823 when any button was pressed.
3824- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
3825 have a white background.
3826- Fixed dialog colour setting.
3827- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
3828 they have sensible colours by default.
3829- Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
3830- Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
3831- Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
3832- Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
3833- Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.

3838wxMSW:
3839
3840- More documentation updates, especially for
3841 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
3842- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
3843 of wxTrace.
3844- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
3845 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
3846 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
3847 position.
3848- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
3849
3850wxMotif:
3851
3852- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
3853 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
3854 child frames).
3855- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
3856- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
3857 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
3858- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
3859 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
3860 the debugging implementation.
3861- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
3862 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
3863 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
3864- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
2edb0bde 3865- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
e3a43801

3866- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
3867 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
3868
3869It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
3870
3871- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
3872- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
3873- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
3874- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
3875- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
3876- wxNotebook almost done.
3877- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
3878 to vertical toolbars).
3879
3880More recently:
3881
3882- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
3883 to scrollbars).
3884- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
3885 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
3886- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.

3917 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
3918- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
3919- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
3920- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
2edb0bde 3921 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.

3928- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
3929 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
3930 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
3931 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
3932- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
3933- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.

3943- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
3944 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
3945 Windows functions, for efficiency.
3946- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
3947- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
3948 don't support it.
3949- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
3950- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.

3968- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
3969 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
3970 wxMenuItem accessors.
3971- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
3972 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
3973- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
3974- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
3975- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
3976- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
3977- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
3978 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
3979 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
3980 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
3981 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
3982 first, then doing the assignment.
3983- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95

3997 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
3998 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
3999- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
4000- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
4001 require application-supplied positioning code though.
4002- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
4003 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
4004 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.

4070 automatically.
4071- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
4072- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
4073 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
4074 unresolved issues.
4075- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
4076 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
4077 tray area.
fc2171bd 4078- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same

4089 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
4090- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
4091 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
4092 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
4093 allow better control of memory.
4094- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
4095 checking.

4104- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
4105- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
4106- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
4107 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
4108 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
4109 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
4110 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
4111- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
4112- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
4113 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
4114 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
4115 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
4116 IUnknown.
4117 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
4118- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
4119 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
4120- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
4121- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
4122 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
4123- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
4124 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
4125 internal implementation.
4126- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
4127 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
4128 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.

4148 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
4149 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.

4163 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
4164 docs/gtk.
4165- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
4166 created dynamically, not as a global object.
4167- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
4168- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
4169 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
4170 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.

4193 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
4194- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
4195- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
4196 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
4197 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
4198- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
4199 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
4200 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
4201 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
4202- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
4203 scrolling toolbars.
4204- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
4205 to help printing with multiple pages.
4206- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
4207 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
4208 implementation updated to use these base classes.
4209- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
4210 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
2edb0bde 4211 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
c801d85f

4212 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
4213 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.

4226 No longer use GNU wxString files.
4227- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
4228 src\common\filefn.cpp.
4229- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
4230 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
4231- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
4232 including changes to defs.h.
4233- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
4234 introduced.
4235- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
4236 hidden).
4237- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
4238 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory

4264 for testing purposes.
4265- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
4266 handlers.
4267- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
4268- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
4269 fully).
4270- Added back wxRadioBox.
4271- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
4272 a separate file.

4279At this point, the following has been achieved:
4280
4281- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
4282 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
4283 wxString instead of char *.
4284- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
4285 old system event system) and code size reduced.
4286- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
4287 as wxbWindow now removed.
4288- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
4289 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
4290- PrologIO revised.
4291- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
2edb0bde 4292 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.

4293- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
4294 Windows settings.
4295- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
4296 settings mucho rationalised.
4297- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
4298 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
4299 classes removed.
4300- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
4301 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
4302- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
4303- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
4304 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
4305 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
4306 of event handlers.
4307- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
4308- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
4309 wxToolBarBase
4310 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
dbd94b75 4311 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
c801d85f
KB
4312 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
4313- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
4314- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
4315 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
4316 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
4317- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
4318 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
4319 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
4320 in the future.
4321- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
4322 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
4323 variables instead.
4324- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
4325 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
4326 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
4327- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
4328 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
4329- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
4330 Win95.
4331- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
4332 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
4333 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
4334- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
4335 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
4336- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
